BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates generally to the field of transportations and road building and more specifically to apparatus and method for set and forget driveby itself and or assisted any wheeled transportations and marking pavements of embedded data (peaks/valleys) by “reading” and “writing”; A systems for reading/writing vibrations of the road surfaces upon body of vehicles by sensors, printing cement/asphalt and processes for making same.

Measurements and analyzes of captured data has been used on different format. Pressures/strains/loads be it heat, chemical, mechanical or electrical etc. signals are computed to provide sets of known values to work on and sensors do the math effectively. Fingerprinting or biometrics determine the uniqueness of samples. Sensors in the blood pressure machine measure pressure against the wall of the vessels. Each sensors perform a definite purpose and target result. Biological mapping of human cells DNA is ongoing. Sensors affect everything that moves, emit signals and work on that signals to make life easier, better and progressive. Reading all input data transmitted to sensors offered control and guidance systems, boundary and perimeter technologies. Collision and avoidance system and forward looking device are in great use in today's cars as well as GPS. Sonar in ships detect peripheral attractions. Present cement and asphalt dispenser for building roads are integrated into big trucks and some behind the truck and buried strips of metal for integrity. Machine spindle rod or workers follow by smoothing and making irregular markings to prevent sliding of vehicles. Present inkjet printers do a fine job of printing image in high resolutions. Computer hard drives write and read data electromagnetically into platters. DVD/CD writer/rewritable use laser to write/read by burning pits. Tape recorder/player laid out data magnetically and heads to read.
